Kies problem after custom rom, Solved.

After some problems to get Kies to recognize my SGT7 rom after custom rom tour i solved it like this.
Get the software CheckFusDownloader v2.1
Download at fus.nanzen.se
Open and choose: android, GT-P1000 and your region.
Then press firmware check and download.
You'll get a zip file, unpack the .zip and put the .tar file in a easy to remember place.
Flash the Restock Package from TeamOvercome (use odin v1.7 supplied in the .zip)
Download at teamovercome.net/
(Use Re-Partition, Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time)
Then do factory reset/wipe in recovery mode. (Power + Volume up at boot)
Then flash the .tar file you downloaded with CheckFusDownloader v2.1
NO re-partition, just klick PDA and choose the downloaded .tar file, and flash.
Then again factory reset/wipe.
Then flash the Restock Package again with and factory reset/wipe at boot
After that Kies recognise my SGT7 as original Samsung rom.
Can somebody tell me if there is a easier way?

I hex edited /efs/nv_data.bin, and flashed a Froyo ROM which included the CSC with the right country code. Kies recognised my Tab straight away and updated it to GB 2.3.6 successfully. See my more detailed post in the other thread (help me i have only 2 weeks left on my garanti!).
I'm not sure it's an easier way though.

Failed at flashin custom ROM!

I followed the steps in INDEX topic to flash a 4.4.2 GoldenEye rom to my 4.3 i337 mk2 . After GE installed it asked for reboot and I accepted it, and it got stuck in samsung screen. so i rebooted into recovery, cleared cache and wiped data which prolly even screwed me deeper!
Now I am trying to flash a stock rom through Odin(EDIT: OMG YES IT WORKED.)
Now im going back to below:
Last time at step 6 it asked to reboot after i installed GE and i did. Is it why i failed?
Files you will need before starting:
ON EXTSDCARD...
-- Safestrap-JFLTE-3.72-kk-B01.apk from here

-- UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip from here
ON COMPUTER...
-- Odin 3.09 and files from MLD Odin Files folder from MLD/MK2-safestrap kit

4. Reboot into Safestrap Recovery
5. Wipe... Advanced Wipe... everything except extSdCard
6. Install... 4.4.2 ROM
7. Install... mldmodules.zip (to fix wifi)
8. Install... UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip (to keep root)
9. Home... Reboot... Download (to reboot into download mode)
10. On PC, open Odin and flash files from MLD Odin Files folder.... BL AP CP
11. Phone will reboot automatically
12. Configure APN Settings (if necessary)

While on MK2 and installing KitKat ROM, it is a MUST that you need to put the phone in download mode and flash the MLD ap/BL/cp files before the phone can reboot after the ROM is flashed.

Rooting Tools For Lollipop​Edit: I reuploaded the Rooting_Tools_For_S5_Lollipop.zip as the md5 was not right if your md5 is not b3dc378a34c0551efe4925912bfa1a9c please redownload and delete the .1Stock_Firmware_Zip from your internal and external sd card and reflash zip
Here is every thing you need to use safestrap without odin. This zip will install the files need if you have to return to KitKat NCG to obtain root. It will also install the firmwares that can be flashed in safestrap so you will not need to use odin. This zip will also install Lollipop SafeStrap Recovery which will allow you to use safestrap without having to use odin to flash kernels and firmwares. I recommend using safestrap to flash for the simple fact if something goes wrong you can still have a chance of booting back to safestrap to reflash something as where using Flashfire if something fails there is a good chance you will have to odin back and start all over. For you who prefer Flashfire I still recommend installing safestrap just as a backup just incase flashfire fails. This zip will also install the Flashfire app
Rooting_Tools_For_S5_Lollipop.zip
Instructions for rooting Verizon S5 on Kitkat Or Lollipop Roms Or If your Already Rooted On A KitKat Rom (If you took the OE1 OTA Update there is currently no root method available)
If already running a rooted kitkat rom with safestrap proceed to step 4

2. Download NCG_Rescue_Tar_And_NCG_For_Root.tar.zip and extract the zip into the odin folder
3. Download lates USB drivers for computer Found HERE and install to computer
4. Download these 3 zips and extract them and copy the folders containing the zips to your sdcard. They are not flashable because you but the zips inside the folders are flashable and are needed in safestrap later on. If your already rooted skip to step 19 after you extract these zips to your sdcard
Stock_Firmware_Zip.zip
Stock_Kernel_Zip.zip
RootS5.zip
5. Copy anything you don't want to get deleted to your external sd card as this process is going to wipe internal storage
6. Reboot Phone to Download mode by holding the power button+volume down button+home button all at the same time.
7. Open Odin on your computer
8. Plug Phone into computer.
9 Press Volume up button on Phone (if you havent already done so) and let odin find your phone. The ID:COM box will turn blue when its ready
View attachment 3411569
10. Click the AP Box in odin and locate the NCG_Rescue_Tar_And_NCG_For_Root.tar.md5 file (which you should have extracted in the odin folder) click on the file and let odin load it. It may take several minutes to load
View attachment 3411570
11. Once it has passed MD5 check the AP box will populate the file
View attachment 3411571
12. Click Start and wait for it to finish will take around 5 to 10 minutes to flash
13. When phone is finally booted up just skip through the setup wizard there is no need to add any accounts as the files you will need you already added to your phone sd card
14. Use the file manager and open the RootS5 folder on your Sd card and install
tr_v3.apk
Superuser.apk
BusyBox.apk
Safestrap-G900V-3.75-KitKat.apk
15. Once all are installed open Towel Root and click Make it rain box then open SuperUser and when it ask to update binary click update normally, then it will ask to disable knox click yes. This may hang if so reboot then open SuperUser again it will again ask to disable knox click yes and then it successfully disable knox.
16. Open BusyBox and grant SuperUser root request. Then click install
17. Open safestrap grant super user root request then install safestrap. Once installed click reboot to recovery inside the safestrap app. If it fails to reboot to recovery install safestrap again and then click the reboot to recovery button it should work this time
18. Now make sure you have the Stock_Firmware_Zip folder and the Stock_Kernel_Zip folder on your sd card both folders should contain 3 flashable zips files
19. Copy Rom to sd card
20. Reboot to safestrap flash rom once rom is flashed navigated to the Stock_Firmware_Zip folder and flash the firmware that matches your rom that you flashed and click reboot
Instruction to Use SafeStrap Without odin If Already on rooted lollipop rom
1. Flash Rooting_Tools_For_S5_Lollipop.zip
2. Open Lollipop SafeStrap Recovery
3. Click Install SafeStrap. It will open Safestrap App wait for the SuperUser Request and grant permission(This may take a few seconds be patient) once you grant permission you may have to go back and reopen the app. Then install SafeStrap. wait for safestrap to install then click install safestrap again(Sometimes on BOD5 firmware it takes 2 times to stick this is why I say do it twice)
4. Open Lollipop SafeStrap Recovery
5. Click on Recovery Reboot
6. Click The Flash Button Grant SuperSu Root Access
7. Click the Reboot To SafeStrap Box
8. Phone will Reboot to SafeStrap. (If for some chance it doesnt boot to safestrap you will need to use odin and manually flash one of the lollipop kernels below. Then once rom is rebooted install safestrap again and problem should be fixed)
9. To return to rom from Safestrap you will need to flash the the stock kernel matching your rom or if your flashing Firmware then just flash that zip there is no need to flash kernel if you flashed a firmware zip. The Firmwares only need to be flashed if the rom you flashed is a different firmware otherwise just flash the kernel. The Firmwares will be located on internal and external SD cards in a file called 1Stock_Firmware_Zip folder and the Kernels will be in 1Stock_Kernel_Zip folder They should be at the top of the list of folders
10. If a problem happens when flashing a rom and you bootloop you will then need to use odin to flash the NI2 Kernel then you can get back to Safestrap
Odin Flashable Tars if you need them
NCG_Rescue_Tar_And_NCG_For_Root.tar.zip
NI2_stock_kernel.tar.md5
VZW_BOC4_RETAIL_FIRMWARE_ONLY.tar.md5

Did you unzip and load the md5 tar in odin? Are you on BOE1 firmware if so you can not flash older firmwares.

Yes, I just did this two or three days ago from stock oc4 in order to install AllianceROM. Follow the instruction in the first spoiler and it works like a breeze. All you need is an internet connection for towelroot.
Edit: I was trying to reply to a post in discussion but it won't quote the post, and I have too few posts to reply there

long time lurker, first time poster. All boils down, nothing works, especially with locked bootloader.
I stupidly took OG5 OTA update, now I lost my root and that also locked my unlocked bootloader! I had tried everything that I could find on this form and google, NOTHING. I even ran Linux on VM and created custom ROM to work with OG5, nada. It didn't work.
I ODIN'd my phone back to the OG5 OTA update.
Until someone finds the way, I am stuck with extremely bloated stock which I hate so much.

@jrkruse, I'm a little unclear on something here. Maybe I'm just dense, just ask my wife.?
I'm currently on rooted stock NK2, with SafeStrap, and if I understand correctly I need to flash the OG5 room, and the OG5 kernel. Since I'm already rooted, I don't need to run the RootTools zip, correct? Also, what about the bootloader? Did I miss something somewhere?

My phone is stuck in downloading mode after installing TWRP

Hi everyone,
Sorry to bother you with this. I recently purchased a Samsung Note 4 (less than a month ago). I successfully rooted it and it worked fine. But today I was incredibly stupid and I tried to install TWRP on my phone. I followed the instructions on this site (which I can't link because I am a new user) and tried to install TWRP using flashify. However, something went wrong and now when I reboot my phone it goes into downloading mode with a green android and text that says "Downloading.. Do not turn off target".
Now every time I reboot it goes into this. I googled this and I tried
1. to click cancel on the download
Does not work, goes to green android screen anyways
2. to go into recovery mode
Does not work, goes to green android screen anyways
I cannot perform a factory reset because I cannot go into recovery mode. I don't know what to do. Is there any software from the PC that would allow me to reset my phone? Of course it would be ideal if I can get it working without resetting it but at this time I just want the phone to work...
If I take my phone to someone, will they be able to fix it? Please help.

Download Odin and the TWRP .tar file.
In Odin, click the AP button and select the TWRP .tar file. Then just flash it that way and it should work just fine.
If that doesn't work, download a full stock ROM from either Sammobile or one of the mirrors here and flash it the same way using Odin. The stock ROM is probably a .tar.md5 file. Don't extract it further and just select this file in Odin.
You might have to install the Samsung USB drivers for Odin to work.

Thank you. If I knew I could have just flashed TWRP in with Odin earlier, I would not have gone through all the trouble. Unfortunately, the method I chose made my phone stuck in downloading mode.
I downloaded the stock ROM and used Odin to install it. I was able to get out of download mode that way but then my phone got stuck in an endless reboot loop. But at that point I was able to access recovery mode again so I just gave my phone a factory reset. It works again now. (Hooray!!)
If I every do try to flash TWRP in again, do you know which version I should use?

Just use the newest one on the official TWRP website.

Can I pair a XXUGBPB1 modem with a XXUGBPB2 boot loader?

There is no modem software here:
https://idlekernel.com/flash-tools/firmware/hlte_SM-N9005XX/N9005XXUGBPB2/
But I found modem here:
https://idlekernel.com/flash-tools/firmware/hlte_SM-N9005XX/N9005XXUGBPB1/
Is it OK if I flash this modem? I suppose I have to use the "CP" button in Odin, right?

Recommended BL: XXUGBPD3
Recommended Baseband/Modem: XXUGBPD1
Both should be available on idlekernel repository.
RE Flashing: You can install via Odin, make sure you download .tar format. You can also install via TWRP on latter versions (3+ I think) TWRP you will need to flash using the .zip or .img formats for that option.

Yep, the name tells the button it requires. Go ahead and install.

Hey there jordanpa and thanks for answering. I can't find any "BPD" there. Are you sure that's what you meant?
